Giambi Turns To Lucky Gold Thong

According to an interview on Conde Nast’s Portfolio.com, Jason Giambi (pictured) has revealed that he owns a gold lamé, tiger-stripe thong that he wears under his uniform in order to bust out of a prolonged slump at the plate. “I only put it on when I’m desperate,” said Giambi.

Disturbing, right? Well, you ain’t seen nothin’ yet. For your consideration:

Over Giambi’s checkered career in the Bronx, he has left the “golden thong” in the lockers of slumping teammates Derek Jeter, Bernie Williams, Johnny Damon, Robin Ventura, and Robinson Cano. “All of them wore it and got hits,” he reports. “The thong works every time.”

Honestly, I’m at a loss. I know ballplayers are disgusting pigs, but the notion of a gold thong being passed from junk-to-junk in the Yankees clubhouse is just more than my stomach can take. In fact there’s some vomit stinging the back of my throat as I type this.

The article also reveals that the 37-year-old steroid-abuser “loves strip joints, cites Letters to Penthouse as his favorite work of literature, and lives by the motto ‘Party like a rock star, hammer like a porn star, rake like an all-star.’”

Giambi’s plans for retirement?

“As long as I can have a fast boat and a margarita machine and can light my hair on fire, I’ll be just fine.”

Thanks, Conde Nast. For keeping it interesting.

      You're questioning my credibility to bash moves? I question your ability to judge any moves at all. 2 days after the Rangers made the very obvious disaster of signing Wade Redden to a crippling contract you emailed me and said that the Rangers were making your dreams come true. In another email you told me that you were never more excited about the Rang […]

      Come on, Rob. You wear your Sather Hatred like a chip on your shoulder. You're not the only one around here who hates the guy. But in order to have credibility when you bash moves, you have to be fair on the good ones. Did you ever think that he'd be able to unload the remaining FIVE years on Gomez's pact while not taking back salary beyond th […]

      This is only a good deal because it gets rid of Kotalik. I doubt Jokinen is going to make a difference. I can't congratulate Sather for making up for his own mistake when the biggest mistake, Redden, is still out there for the next five, ?, years. […]
    • Comment on This Week in Rangers Hockey (Jean Ratelle Edition) by Ben
      Jean Ratelle was not only a gentleman on the ice but off it as well. Living in Long Beach, I grew up with the Rangers as my neighbors and Jean was always happy to give the local kids sticks and pucks so we could play in the street. His time with the Rangers was the golden age of hockey. I saw him fight only once and even that he did like a gentleman. No one […]
    • Comment on What I Wish I Could Say About the Rangers by Rob A from BBD
      Great article. The one thing I think about when I want to remember that it could be worse is Henrik Lundqvist. Imagine how bad this team would be without such a strong goalie. Fire Sather. […]
